Winona, Minn. (September 24, 2013) - Starting on October 7, area students can begin the fall Drivers Education for Youth program at Minnesota State College - Southeast Technical. The course consists of 14 sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings and includes 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training.

"Our goal is to provide new drivers with the skills, knowledge, motivation, and insight to become safe and responsible drivers," says instructor Michael Meurer. "We've also added a new feature this year, a Parent's Night where parents and students will attend together and a Minnesota State Patrol Officer will talk with the group and answer questions."

Classes meet: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Dates: 14 sessions starting October 7, 2013, ending November 14, 2013 (No class on October 17, October 31, November 11)
